2 Flights down, 1 to go!

Well I have made it to London for my second lay over in this ridiculously long travel adventure.  I left my house in Novi at about 10am EST.  Evee, my pup, was not very happy.  She had a sit in on my bed with a milkbone in her mouth.  She barked and barked and barked.  She hates suitcases, especially when they make their way out the door.  Prior to departing the house I had a very frustrating situation with my suitcases.  I hate having to take things out.  It turned out that they weighted 50 and 49.5 pounds a piece.  Lucky me.  I used every available ounce!  My carry on however is a beast to lug around, but they are all essential items.  


I flew American so I got to see the new North Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport.  Its pretty nice, nothing fancy but WAY better than the American Terminal used to be.  I had a coffee, read my book, and flew to Chicago.  In chicago I waited for another 3 hours or so, ate a happy meal, and read more of my book.  

I then boarded my flight to London, 7 and a half hours long.  My legs were aching afterwards from sitting so long.  I was surprised how little the babies cried on the plane.  I also had 2 seats to myself which allowed me to spread out some.  

London Heathrow Airport is very odd.  I got off my plane at one terminal, walked through a million empty hallways to get onto a bus and ride it to Terminal 5 and go through passport check and security again.  A long and tedious process.  I am now in the connections lounge waiting for my gate to be announced.  Strange that it is not pre-planned.  It is about 8:10am in London which means it is 3:10am at home.  I'm really tired.  It may be time for Starbucks!

I will post pictures soon!  I promise!  
Ciao!
